Tuberculosis is caused by bacteria (Mycobacterium tuberculosis) and it most often affects the lungs. TB is spread through the air when people with lung TB cough, sneeze or spit. A person needs to inhale only a few germs to become infected.

Every year, 10 million people fall ill with tuberculosis (TB). Despite being a preventable and curable disease, 1.5 million people die from TB each year – making it the world’s top infectious killer.

TB is the leading cause of death of people with HIV and also a major contributor to antimicrobial resistance.People infected with TB bacteria have a 5–10% lifetime risk of falling ill with TB. Those with compromised immune systems, such as people living with HIV, malnutrition or diabetes, or people who use tobacco, have a higher risk of falling ill.

TB incidence per 100,000 estimated all forms of Tb data; TB in data captures incidence of tuberculosis per 100,000 people.It also captures the proportion of estimated new and relapse TB cases that were notified and treated by health facilities in the country during the given year.

This dataset also includes data on tuberculosis treatment success rate (% of new cases)
